Our Electrolux canister vacuum just stopped working when we were vacuuming the floor. The power does come on when the power head is attached but as soon as the power head is removed the power shuts off. I tried pressing the reset button but that doesn't help. Is there a solution that I can try at home?

Answers :

Sound like you problem is in the connection going to the power head you will see a small screw on the power nozzel where it joins to the handle take out the screw and take it a part you will see where one of the bars have been disconnect from the power.

The guardian is the most complex vacuum I've ever worked on. The technology exceeds all others. Usually the problem is with the computer board in the handle. My suggestion is to take it to the nearest Aerus Electrolux dealer. http://www.aerushome.com/storelocator/

Power nozzle on E-series won't start when cold unless the red 'reset' button is pressed multiple times while also holding the trigger to 'warm it up'...this is w/the power nozzle off the floor - no restriction on it turning. Once it's been running and then turned off the button must be pressed w/the trigger to get it to run - again w/the nozzle off the floor. It also seems to shut off too easily while vacuuming.
I replaced the motor,which didn't fix it. Is the reset switch next on my list?

My roomba wont work. Pushing the power button doesnt do anything. It charges seemingly normal, going to green in a few hours. ive tried the reset trick, holding the power button down with the battery removed. Now what? thanks

I have a Kenmore Progressive upright model 216-37100800. It is only around 1.5 years old. My wife said that one day after she plugged it and turned it on, it whirred up but then shut off. Since then it will not start. I have noticed that right after I plug it in, if I try to turn it on, the first yellow light in the series of dirt sensor lights turns on then shuts off. After that the light will not light up on pressing the power button, unless I unplug it and plug it back in again. I have seen o

Dyson DC23 Vacuum shut off and came on. Thought it was a problem at the electrical outlet as when moving plug it would come on again.
Seen canister was full, emptied it and cyclone was quite plugged up so poked out the dirt. Had dog hairs in it as well as some ashes I had just vacuumed. Plugged unit in again and pressed switch. Will not come on. Tried another outlet.
Is there a reset button somewhere or could the ashes have seized the motor. What can I try besides taking it to a repair sho

My beam serenity plus power head shuts off as soon as it hits our carpet. It runs when held off the floor though. Do you know what could be causing this? The only thing that starts it up is the red reset button.

I have a miele S712 (2 yrs old worked fine yesterday) - I had been doing some diy work inside and had the vac on just to reduce some of the dust in the air - after a while the vacuum fizzled out. I guessed it had overheated and took it outside to cool down - when I tried to turn it back on pressing the power button gives it power and it starts to **** but it won't STAY on, soon as you release the power button it stops, and the orange bag indicator is showing full. As I have a compressor I took

I have a Kenmore Elegance Vacuum with Dirt Sensor, Model # 116.30750400C, Serial number M41901532. When vacuuming the carpet the power head will work for 3-6 mins then automatically shut off, power is still there and lights work but the power head motor turns off and the suction stops. I will turn it off and on, check the outlet, flick the on off buttons...nothing. I will turn it off for a couple minutes and it turns back on and runs like normal.

Greetings from ,\015\012 \015\012This definitely sound like a cord reel issue to me. This is really the only problem that I ever see on a Miele vacuum cleaner. 9 times out of 10 the cord reel needs to be changed. If you purcha ...

I have a Eureka Boss Model 411... I need to know where the reset button is for the suction motor. The canister was clogged on the backside, I didn't see it and the suction motor shut off. I have cleared the obstruction, but don't know where the reset is for that motor. I know how to reset the brush head motor.

Have a Centralux Aerus about 5 years old. Don't see a model number. There is suction but beater brush quit working. Was using for a few minutes, shut it off for a few minutes, turned it back on and suction only. Tried the reset button also. Tried the sidekick attachment and it works fine. There was no smell like something was hot. Belt is fine. Are there any fuses or anything else to try? This vacuum cleaner has not really been used that much, it is hard to believe the motor would need replaced

There probably is a loose wire in the handle near the switch or a wire off near the swivel elbow near the vac power head. With the right fastener tool to remove some screws you can fix it yourself ...

I recently purchased a Sunbeam Artista EM5900 model coffee machine. I plugged it in and pressed the 'Power' button only to find the power go out. I understand this is short circuiting, so I went and turned the power back on. I then moved the machine to a different powerpoint and plugged it in - the same problem happened and I have tried it countless times on various other powerpoints. Help please?

Try it in a different part of the house. If it works then you have too many things running in the kitchen.\015\012If it still blows a breaker then it is shorted out and needs to be returned. ...

I have a new Kenmore vacuum cleaner w/power head also Hepa Filter. The power head started once and will not start now. I have checked to make everything is hooked up right. The reset button is below

I have excellent suction power through the vac, but when I try to use the hose there is no suction power there. I have cleaned everything and it is definitely clean and clear. I've also used the reset button.

When you use the upright Dyson, the handle has to be in the upright position for the hose to work. In this position, there should be a clear way through for the suction to the hose, and the suction for the normal sweeper should be off. This is all ...

Eureka model 7605 type A - 'the boss' lite. would not power on yesterday. working perfectly before. i replaced full bag with clean bag this morning. still won't power on. is there a reset button, or anything else i can try? Thank You!

I plugged it in, pushed the power button and it came on for about 5 seconds. Then, it shut off by itself. I checked the outlet and it was working fine. I then cleaned the brushes and tried again, but no power... Nothing. Could it be the cord??? Any other ideas? Thanks for your help!

I have a Bissell lift-off revolution. The power won't turn on at all. Tried different outlets. It doesn't work whether the lift-off canister is out of the frame or in the frame. The manual refers to a reset switch but can't find it, even when I took the cover off the main canister unit. Where is the reset button and/or fuse?

Same problems - power nozzle motor does not work after cleaning the brush and pressing the reset button. Also the handle button which turns on the nozzle does not light up (my wife thought it lit up before).

My vacuum is a Kenmore Special Edition with a Power-Mate 12.0 AMPS wand. I ran over the edge of fringed edge of my living room carpet and immediately turned off the vacuum. Although I have removed the fringe pieces from the wand head and I have pushed the overload protector reset button on the wand, the wand brush will not turn.
